From Minds to Movements: Foresight in Cognition and Activism
Interdisciplinary graduate conference
We are announcing a PhD symposium on Future Thinking on May 8th 2025 -
May 10th 2025, in the University of Vienna.
The 1st day of the conference will focus on theory, covering empirical
and philosophical research on cognition and its interpretations. The 2nd
day will focus on various political, social and epistemic issues
considered through the lens of empirical research. On the 3rd day, the
conference will be centered around future directions of research in
cognitive science, and its broader implications, based on the work
presented during the first two days.
The conference will coincide with the Cognitive Science Hub’s Annual
Lecture which will take place in the Großer Festsaal on one of the two
nights of the symposium. The participants of the conference will also be
invited to attend the lecture and the proceeding reception.
Throughout the conference, we will cover the following topics:
• Conceptual change
• Predictive Processing
• Anticipation and Perception
• Uncertainty and Reasoning
• Activism in Science
• Epistemic Trust
• Addressing Climate Change
• The Erosion of Democracy
We welcome submissions from PhD students as well as postdoctoral
researchers at early stages of their career. Contributions need not be
limited to empirical research and can address the aforementioned issues
from broadly philosophical and political perspectives. However, we
expect applicants from other disciplines to have a background or strong
interest in cognitive science.
Applications can be submitted here:
https://forms.gle/qUa6iuYaQQwCMRsd6.
Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words, and must be prepared for
anonymous review. The deadline for submission is 10.03.2025. We will
notify applicants of our decision by 11.04.2025.
